I was let go from 2 jobs for performance issues - will this affect my Suitability for Fed Employment?

I was let go from 2 jobs for performance issues - will this affect my Suitability for Fed Employment? I was recently offered a job with a federal agency. It is a level 5 position of public trust. The job has a background investigation to determine suitability for federal employment and I am supposed to fill a form SF-85p. I was let go from one job after only a few months (small crappy company) and another job last year during the economic downturn. They said I was let go due to performance but I firmly believe it is a disguised layoff. Will all this affect my background investigation? Will I be able to successfully continue in my job without issues? Any federal employees here with experience in this matter please answer.

1. sad to say (and i am not being sarcastic) but poor performance is the gold standard for many government jobs;, local, state, and/or federal.
